Unable to extract the directory 'backup' from the file /home/admin/user_backups/effetto.tar.gz


How can i solve?
 
I've never seen the problem. Have you contacted DirectAdmin support?

same problem

backup created on freebsd
trying to restore on centos 5 64 bit

one of user restored successfully
and another gives error
 
I had that with my backups and tried manually restore users one by one that worked ( a little )
 
Same prolbem, compressed on freebsd 5.4 unable to extract on debian 4.0
 
With gnu tar 1.16 i haved problems to restore the backup, now i've updated to 1.19 and it's working fine.
 
Do you mean that you have updated the tar version on the server where you are importing the backups?
 
Yes, you have to update the gnutar in the server where you are restoring the backups.
 
ive to update tar on the backup machine or on restore machine?

and, how update on debian and freebsd? On debian i did apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade so i think that tar is updated too.. or not?

Help me please
 
If i remember, i had to move /usr/local/bin/tar to /usr/bin/bin or /bin/tar.

So, check the path's ;)
 
I still got this problem with two new box just installed... help please.. all the system (bsd and debian 4.0) are full updated....
 
i solve in this way:

unpacked the backup from ssh, receiving same error, but, after unzip, i zipped with the same name and then i used the DA restore, and it worked fine, no data lost.
 
Thank you for the fix, SeLLeRoNe! Still got problems with some databases (had to restore them manually).
 
DirectAdmin Support said:
Although this is an old thread, we're still seeing boxes with tar binaries that are not working correctly. I've added a guide if anyone need to update the tar for the system making the backups.

John,

I recommend you to change

mv /bin/tar /bin/tar.old
cp src/tar /bin/tar
Click to expand...

to

mv /bin/tar /bin/tar.old
ln -s src/tar /bin/tar
Click to expand...

So if you update it later, you won't have to copy it again.
